    actually I have answered it pretty much everytime. I have never once said he should bat lead off. I mentioned Campana might be worth a look for future reference to see if he can be that guy. So what exactly is it that you want to see done with Barney right now? You want him batting where? And for what reason?

Turns out Chapman was having some legal issues a few hours before that game.

    Batting order doesn't really matter. The fact that he's playing just about every day kind of negates the notion that he's been "jettisoned" in any way shape or form.

    no jar jar, he does not really? the best you can do is ridicule someone's typing? I answered the question. He does not play bad defense. There are no negatives that can be pointed out.

    You are raping the data.

    I doubt it is very rare. Everybody in the AL East is .500 or better. It's only a quarter of the way in so a lot of teams haven't even played each other yet.

    He shouldn't be. With utility middle infield types, as long as they're cheap and not completely hapless with the bat there's no harm in keeping them around. Also, in Barney's case as long as he's hitting well for now may as well let him play out the hot streak. I understand the comparisons as far as offense goes, but the obvious difference is the fact that Barney is a great defensive player, despite the fact that he makes some mistakes and Theriot was a bad defensive player. Not as much comparisons of their numbers as how they will be hailed by some in similar ways.

    what did she look like?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    holy crap Jackson those draft previews weren't lying when they said he had issues making contact with the baseball
  15. jersey cubs fan
    When I talked about Barney eventually becoming the next Theriot in the eyes of some I never realized it would happen this quickly.

    Ok, I'll give in on this one. Still not sure I'd call it goofy, though. It's more than a little goofy. There is literally nothing other than the service time issue that should be included in any discussion about keeping him down. Keeping him down to hide weaknesses makes absolutely no sense.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I'm not arguing he shouldn't be called up at all this season, I'm arguing we should leave him down at the very least until late June (when the extra year of team control kicks in), if not until late August (when Super 2 status is eliminated). If we were to call him up for tomorrow's game, you're looking at around 30 extra games this year (using the earlier, June date), which means around 90-120 extra PAs. I don't see that as beneficial enough to give up an extra year of team control of him. Tomorrow's game is in Houston against an NL team. The first game they will need a DH in is in 18 days, and the last game with a DH is 13 days after that. You are talking about a 14 day window where his services could be needed and used appropriately every day, then send him back and a measly 14 day extension to the original window of time he needed to stay in the minors.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I'm sure that's not close to true.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    why are we pushing out these guys to make room for organizational players?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    So don't send him back down. It's not going to be a bad thing. Less than ideal, sure, but nothing ideal ever happens in baseball.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    That is not a thing
  22. jersey cubs fan
    If you call him up in 2 weeks he and LaHair takes turns at 1B/DH during the IL games and then Rizzo can go back down when IL is done, still getting all the benefits of staying in the minors while "there is no room" on the major league roster.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    That provides a lot of value, don't discount it. Who knows what they will do, but don't dismiss the value that possibly provides. I wouldn't dismiss the value, but you sure as hell can discount it.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    They are 13th in OPS and 14th in runs scored. They were one notch worse in each stat in 2006.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that is not a thing!!!!!! I hated when everybody decided they had to describe Derosa that way. You are a utility player if you can't be a starter but can play multiple positions. There is not such thing as a "super utility" guy. What if you can play a bunch of positions (but none of them really all that well) but you're a very good hitter? Not that I disagree with you on the labels thing. If you are truly a "very good hitter" and can play a bunch of positions, you can play one of them well enough to start.
